Product Description

Veterinary practitioners and students are presented with many different and complex cases, and are expected to offer an accurate diagnosis quickly. The differential diagnosis list is one of the most important aspects of the problem–oriented approach to clinical diagnosis. Finding good lists in a readily available form can be difficult, and can involve laborious reference to multiple texts and sources. Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicine brings this information together in one place in an easy reference format.

From the Author
This book was written to fill what I felt was a gap in the
market. While working on difficult medical cases, I have often wanted a
single ready reference to help me formulate a differential list from the
clinical information I have available. Unfortunately, I found myself
frequently having to consult multiple textbooks to bring all the
information I needed together. I decided therefore to write a book that
would serve as a ready reference for differential diagnoses of the majority
of presentations that are encountered in practice, including both common
and uncommon conditions. This text should be of use to veterinary students,
general practitioners, university interns, residents and anyone who, like
me, cannot fully carry these lists around in their heads. I hope other
clinicians find it as useful as I do.
